--- Comment #30 from C. Scott Ananian <[email protected]> --- @Michael Zajac: nothing related to table parsing in wikitext is simple, unfortunately. So I'm suggesting to concentrate on *making it possible*, and let the template authors and/or VE, etc, worry about making it "dead-simple". But I'm open to suggestions. The HTML elements not currently supported in wikitext are thead, tbody, tfoot, colgroup, and col. If someone would like to open a new wikipage proposing concrete "dead-simple" wikitext syntax for these, I'd be happy to re-evaluate. (But please make your proposal on a wikipage, so that this bugzilla isn't bloated out with endless bikeshedding over tweaks to the syntax.) Note that the original page was reverted (as I understand the history of this bug) because the implementation constructed an entire in-model memory of the table during processing. Wikipedia tables can be *huge*. So any syntax proposal must be able to be parsed without buffering and using as little table context information as possible. Similarly, you should be prepared to demonstrate (using greps over a wikipedia dump, or similar) that the proposed syntax does not break any existing table markup. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
